Upland Manor Care Home

Michaela brings with her over 20 years of experience in the care sector. She began her journey as a Care Assistant and quickly progressed through roles as Team Leader, Deputy Manager, and, for the last 15 years, as a Home Manager. Her career has included managing both nursing and residential services, always with a strong focus on delivering high-quality person-centred care.

Most recently, Michaela served as Home Manager at Ashlands Manor with New Care, where she led with compassion and excellence. She was drawn to Lovett Care Group by its ethos, vision, and values and is now excited to take on a new challenge: commissioning and leading Upland Manor.

Michaela shared:
“The most rewarding part of being a Home Manager is seeing the difference the team makes to the residents living in the home. I’m excited to build a positive culture at Upland Manor and support a new team in providing the very best care.”

Hello, I am Abbie. I am the deputy manager of Upland Manor. I started within the company back in 2020 as a housekeeper and soon realised that I had a passion for care. I then progressed to carer, team leader and went on to do my nursing degree. I have been qualified for nearly two years, and before Upland Manor, I worked in one of our sister homes, Ashland's Manor, where I developed my skills as a nurse and also continued to learn about managerial roles.

I am so excited to now be the Deputy Manager of Upland Manor alongside Michaela.

As a Deputy Manager, my passion for care is at the heart of everything I do. I believe that exceptional care begins with a strong, motivated team - and I strive to lead by example, inspiring those around me to always put the needs and dignity of individuals first. I take pride in developing a positive, supportive environment where staff feel empowered, valued and confident in delivering high-quality care.

I have been working within Lovett Care at our sister home, Ashland’s Manor, for the last two years as Wellbeing Coordinator and have loved every moment, being able to create some special moments with our residents, staff and relatives. I am still relatively new to the care sector, having worked in the Hospitality and Leisure industry for the last ten years, and gained my degree in Events Management and Marketing, working in management at various pubs, restaurants, golf clubs and arenas along the way. I ultimately had a real desire to work within the healthcare sector and was very keen to bring my wide knowledge and experience from my previous roles into this job. I love the role I play in the home, being able to bring joy, happiness, a sense of purpose and belonging into the lives of our residents, while having plenty of fun is the best job in the world.
